Newsweek, the weekly magazine that refuses to die, is being relaunched in newsprint, this week. Two separate editions, one for the USA and the other for Europe, will be published.
The US edition will make its first appearance on newsstands across the world on Friday (7 March). The European edition will arrive a couple of weeks later.
Its US editor-in-chief, Jim Impoco, has described it as as a monthly coming out weekly, “a premium product, a boutique product” that will rely for revenue on a subscription-based business model.
Its European editor, Richard Addis, says the reborn magazine will not aim to sum up the weekly news in the manner of its historic rival, Time, nor will it be like The Week or The Economist. “It is good writers doing good reporting with good photographers,” he says.
